Better Together

Imagine your child being guided by someone who truly understands their journey—a college athlete who has walked the same path, faced the same challenges, and achieved the dreams your child is aspiring to. At Better Together, we are mentors. We connect aspiring young athletes with seasoned college athletes who serve as mentors, offering personalized guidance, mental skills training, and invaluable life lessons. Through one-on-one virtual sessions, these mentors not only help your child develop resilience, goal-setting, and a winning mindset, but also provide a supportive relationship that fosters growth both on and off the field. Whether it's navigating the pressures of sports, balancing academics, or building confidence, our mentors are equipped to inspire and empower your child to reach their full potential. Our Better Together Programs are more than a mental health literacy platform, our program is even more than mentorship-we are a true community where your child can thrive, learn, and feel supported by someone who truly gets it. Ready to give your athlete the edge they need to succeed? Let’s make it happen! Check out our directory of incredible mentors from around the country.

Happy National Athletic Training Month! Athletic trainers truly are the unsung heroes of the athletic world. As exceptional health care professionals, they are champions in providing invaluable, patient-focused care, from injury prevention to clinical support, recovery, and rehabilitation. Their dedication ensures athletes can return stronger to the sport they love. Beyond physical care, their tireless support for athletes’ mental health and wellness is transformative, making an impact that echoes far beyond the playing field. Let’s celebrate their extraordinary contributions and honor the essential role they play on the front lines of sports! Celebrate your AT ????

At Better Together, we often talk about the athlete’s eco-system. This is a great visual on our human eco-system and making an effort to keeping us alive and well. Pay attention to the signals our body gives us, listen to our thoughts, and connect with our soul. There is no health without mental health. #athletementalhealth We are Better Together. https://lnkd.in/e9RHJ3Tj #mentalhealthmatters #mind #body #soul #bettertogether

Kimberly O'Brien, PhD, LICSW, Founder of Unlimited Resilience, and Co-Founder of Better Together, along with Grace Murphy, Stonehill College 2026, and Madeline Egan, Dartmouth College 2029, were out in full force today! In collaboration and support of The Kyle Johnson Foundation [Kyle Cares], they spoke on the topic of “Supporting Student Mental Health” to the student body at Medfield Senior High School. They talked about skills to build “resilience” on and off the field. They covered mindset, positivity, mindfulness and self talk! Such a fantastic job! Way to go Team Better Together! https://lnkd.in/e9RHJ3Tj #mentalhealthishealth #mentalhealthmatters #connection #community #support #resilience #mentors #bettertogether #unlimitedresilience #athletesbettertogether

Prioritizing mental health lays the groundwork for athletes - and anyone, really - to truly thrive. A healthy and supportive mindset not only fuels resilience and focus but also fosters the confidence to push limits without the weight of burnout or emotional strain holding them back. This isn't about "toughness" in the traditional sense; it's about sustainable strength and growth. Jess Kirby, PhD, your advocacy in this space aligns beautifully with the idea that mental well-being is just as critical as physical training in achieving excellence. By creating environments where mental health is supported, we are championing a future where athletes can reach their full potential without sacrificing their inner peace. It's inspiring to see this shift happening in the sports community!

World Teen Mental Health Day! Together, We Rise. Today, we join hands with the global community to celebrate World Teen Mental Health Day, a day to amplify the voices of young people and remind them they are never alone. At Better Together, we believe that true strength comes from supporting one another. As teen athletes navigate the ups and downs of life, both on and off the field it’s essential to prioritize mental well-being. That’s why we are committed to creating a culture and community where resilience thrives, stigma fades, seeking support and asking for help is celebrated. You are more than your wins and losses. You are valued, seen, and heard. Remember, seeking help when you need it is a sign of courage, not weakness. Let’s keep building a community that fosters connection, lifts each other up, and champions mental health for all. We are Better Together! ??Together, we’re stronger. Together, we rise.?? #WorldTeenMentalHealthDay #athletesbetterogether #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthishealth #mentors #stopthestigma #rise
